Duplicating a Form

I want to create another Form similar to Form1 with controls .. I do not want to use select all , copy and past method for Form2 .. I tried to save Form1 as with different name and tried to add Form as existing , but I get error "Form" will not be loaded . Name is already in use

Does this help?

Code:

---

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    Dim NewForm As New Form1
   
    With NewForm
        .Visible = True
    End With
End Sub

---

OK I solved my Problem of duplicating Form ..

May I know

Up to 256 blank spaces can precede the actual text on a single line, and no more than twenty-four line-continuation characters ( _) can be included in a single logical line.

In addition to Bonnie's info, an individual Sub or Function can contain
up to around 3,000 lines .. I don't know the exact number, but at least
the IDE gives you a warning .. Too many lines in the Procedure.

However, keep in mind .. there is no warning if you exceed the 65,534 line limit.
If memory serves, when you go to run the app, you'll get the dreaded error message
asking if you want to report the issue to Microsoft. The key point is that all code
that you added since the last time you saved the app will be lost.

I remember back several years ago writing a VBA script that exceeded 64k in size. There was no message given but nothing at all happened when the script was run. It had worked correctly just a few minutes before but not at all. I commented out the newly added code and still nothing.

It was a while before I caught the 64k thing and was able to correct the issue by removing a few lines of comments.

I do not know for sure at what level this issue exists in VB6 perhaps a sub or function, perhaps a module or form or class but at some point there is an issue with over 64k bytes of code/comments

Wasn't the 64K limit back when the chip was 8-Bit and could only handle an 8-bit address.

When I ran into it in my VBA script that was under Windows NT on a Pentium Processor but I think that same thing would have happened on any system.

I duplicated the forms with save as by different names .. when I use commend button to go to another it like blinks before appearing .. is there any way to run it smoothly with any blink or jerk
